Release at a glance
Validated release statistics.
One primary record represents one stable 12-character EPA site ID in the official proposed, final, or deleted NPL universe. Repeated workbook rows are consolidated only when every site-level field agrees. Contaminants remain a normalized one-to-many relation keyed to the EPA site ID. The broader active and archived SEMS evaluated-site inventories are outside this release and are not mislabeled as NPL sites.
